Sedation Dentist Altavista

Feel At-Ease at the Dental Office

An estimated 36% of adults in the country have dental anxiety or fear, leaving them second-guessing whether they feel comfortable enough to visit their dentist for routine checkups and cleanings, emergency appointments, or important treatments. Our team at Hooks Family Dentistry understands how much of an impact dental anxiety and fear can have on your emotional wellbeing as well as your oral health, which is why we offer sedation dentistry to try to help. To learn more about how we can help you feel more comfortable in the dental treatment chair with sedation dentistry in Altavista, call our dental office today.

Nitrous Oxide Dental Sedation

Nitrous oxide, also commonly referred to as laughing gas, is a fast-acting sedation method that we can administer in our dental office. When you sit down in the treatment chair, we’ll place a small nose mask over you that will allow you to breathe in a colorless, odorless gas. Within minutes, you’ll feel a euphoric wave wash over you. Once your treatment is complete, we’ll remove the mask and the effects will quickly wear off, allowing you to drive home and go about the rest of your day as you normally would.
